Do you know of Bob and Doug McKenzie?

Get oot.

Ehhh, take off, ya hoser. :slight_smile:

Feh. Hoser. I have it digitized and on my phone.

Yes, I know that CDs are digital, eh? I recognize the absurdity of my comment.

Crap- I see “hoser” is right there in the poll. Sorry.

I was always a much bigger fan of SCTV than SNL. In retrospect I think that still holds up. Great cast. The McKenzie Brothers were rarely the best thing in an episode but they rarely disappointed.

What are you guys? Fleshy-Headed Mutants?

Anyone have the album on vinyl and play “You Are Our Guest”? (That was pronounced “you are are guest”)

My favorite scene from Strange Brew.

Hahaha!!!

It’s like the Canadian version of “Dumb and Dumber” but 10 years earlier! :D:D

“Two bowls of split pleas soup please!”

I still use the Bob and Doug method for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit: double it and add 30. I know they didn’t come up with that, but that’s where I learned it.

I also frequently quote a line from Doug’s “Don’t Kill Bugs” sermon: “Sooner or later, no matter how good you are, somebody will hate you and think of you as a bug.” So true.

I saw them on SCTV the first time they aired. I bought their album. I was at the movie on opening day. I saw the movie more than 80 times in the theater. I was at the store waiting to buy it on DVD the morning it was released. I still quote them incessantly.

I know Bob & Doug, eh.

Holy fuck Bo.

Between snowboarding, your love of hockey, and now this revelation?

I’m recommending to PM Trudeau that you be made an honourary Canadian. Perhaps even Order Of Canada!

The Order of the Golden Toque, eh?

Five of them!

But do Bob and Doug know Bo?

Bo, I’m curious: how did you manage this? Did you quit your job and spend the entire day at the movie theater? I don’t know how long Strange Brew played in theaters, but I can’t imagine that it was more than a few weeks.

That would totally rock, eh!

8 times in the theater the first week, 4 the second, then 1-2 times per weekend at Midnight Madness showings for the next few years. I was somewhat obsessive about movies I liked back then; people like me are why they’re known as “cult films”, eh. I’d see it both weekend nights, at least until Spinal Tap came out and hit the MM circuit, then I’d see one each night. Thankfully, I’d already seen Heavy Metal dozens and dozens of times by then or I’d have had to split time with that too. :smiley:

Back then, when you liked stuff that was weird by the standards of the time, you really had to glom on to it hard or it would disappear. It wasn’t like today, where the internet is one-stop-shopping-and-storage for all kinds of entertainment offerings.

Played their “12 Days of Christmas” a month ago for a friend who likely wasn’t allowed to watch SCTV.

Well, that’s cool!
